More quotes by John Lubbock
A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn.
John Lubbock
Reading and writing, arithmetic and grammar do not constitute education, any more than a knife, fork and spoon constitute a dinner.
John Lubbock
Though it is a great mistake to make friends of the wicked and foolish, it is unwise to make enemies of them, for they are very numerous.
John Lubbock
It would be a great thing if people could be brought to realize that they can never add to the sum of their happiness by doing wrong.
John Lubbock

John Lubbock
Try to realize all the blessings you have, and you will find perhaps that they are more than you suppose.
John Lubbock
We may sit in our library and yet be in all quarters of the earth.
John Lubbock

John Lubbock

John Lubbock
A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work.
John Lubbock

John Lubbock
It always seems to be raining harder than it really is when you look at the weather through the window.
John Lubbock
A crowd is not necessarily company, but neither need it necessarily prevent thought or disturb peace of mind.
John Lubbock
The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.
John Lubbock
We must not sit still and look for miracles up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee.
John Lubbock
Endurance is a much better test of character than any single act of heroism, however noble.
John Lubbock
Everyone must have felt that a cheerful friend is like a sunny day, which sheds its brightness on all around and most of us can, as we choose, make of this world either a palace or a prison.
John Lubbock
Our own happiness ought not to be our main objective in life.
John Lubbock
